HTML Meta Tag
- Metadata is nothing but information about other information.
- The <meta> tag is used to provide an additional information about the HTML document.
- The <meta> tag specifies page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata.
- The <meta> tag is always written between the <head> and </head> tags.
- This tag is an empty element and so does not have a end tag.
- You can include one or more meta tags in your document.
- The metadata is used by browsers, search engines, or other web services.
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Defines a name of the metadata |
| Content | Specifies the value associated with the http-equiv or name attribute |
| Scheme | Specifies the scheme to be used to interpret the property's value |
| Http-equiv | Specifies an HTTP header for the information/value of the content attribute |
Example:
